Ent-DMPC
2,3-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine
Ent-DMPC/Ent-2,3-Dimyristoyl-sn-Glycero-1-Phosphocholine is an enantiomer of the phospholipid DMPC/2,3-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine.
Enantiomers are pairs of mirror images to one another, non-superimposable stereoisomers. They are also called optical antipodes or isomers, or just antipodes. They have the same connectivity, but opposite three-dimensional orientations, so they rotate plane-polarized light (+/−) by equal amounts but in opposite directions.
DMPC is a phospholipid that contains 14:0 fatty acids at sn-2 and sn-3 positions. It also belongs to the group of phosphatidylcholines (PC). They are components of eukaryotic cell membranes that contain choline as a head group.
DMPC is actually a synthetic phospholipid used widely to analyze the lipid bilayer of biological organelle and cell membranes.
DMPC has been found to aid the adhesion and transport of nanoparticles through bio-membranes in models of rat brains.
Ent-DMPC is suitable to include in profound analyses on DMPC roles in studying cell membranes.
Avanti Research provides high-quality Ent-DMPC to guarantee science researchers the highest quality products to support relevant results in research areas.
